Single-Vehicle Crash Statistics

Single-vehicle accidents kill an alarming number of people in California every year.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shows that single-vehicle accidents are to blame for 62% of all California fatalities in car accidents. When driving in California, there are several things to keep in mind that could cause an accident.

Numerous factors can contribute to a single-vehicle accident. On a slick road, the risk of an off-the-road accident or a runaway vehicle increases with speed and sharp turns. The road may have debris such as a large branch or something that fell from a truck’s bed.

Even if the single-car accident is caused by something other than your or another driver’s negligence, your insurance policy’s comprehensive coverage plan will likely limit your recovery.

Los Angeles County Car Accident Lawyers

While most people who are injured in car accidents can’t return to work or school, reckless driving is still a crime, even if the death of another person is the result. Victims of car accidents who have lost their lives as a result of the carelessness of another driver may file a wrongful death lawsuit against that driver’s insurer.

Deposition and trial witnesses have to testify in front of a large audience while enduring the agony of reliving their past losses and sorrows. Unresolved legal issues can have a negative impact on people’s mental health.

Immediate action is required to hold a driver accountable for a car accident. When negligence results in a high death toll, accountability is essential. Wrongful death lawsuits can be beneficial to the families of those who have lost loved ones, even though it can be exhausting. This decision will have significant ramifications for motorists in the Golden State.
